(Updated with review/feature req) Anyone tried a Dell ST2220T (multi touch) monitor ?

I guess no one uses touch screen.. ;) I probably just get one to test it out.. 

I must be old fashioned or out of touch.  I can't picture using a touch screen with a recording program.

I guess if it doesn't work out, you can always just use it as a regular monitor with a mouse.

FWIW, I've found a touch-screen nice for some things (quick/easy adjustments)...
But I wouldn't want to use one exclusively (especially not for more detailed control).
If you have RSI... holding your arm up for hours a day can cause major issues with tendonitis/etc.  The touch-screen would have to be built into your desk to allow more ergonomic position/use.
 

Just an update. I ordered the Dell ST220T multi touch monitor, received today and got it setup.

In summary.. touch screen won't work for X1..for now (yeah.. that's fast to discovered) ..the mixer faders do not response correctly to the finger 'drag' such as click and drag using a mouse (submitted a 'bug' report) ...hopefully it will be fixed.

Here's the longer version.

The native screen resolution is 1920 x 1080 (21.5 inch monitor), and is fine and clear for normal usage, but it's too small for touch screen usage. To be effective, the resolution needs to be set lower, so the faders and buttons will appeared bigger. And since this setup will be in multi monitor environment, setting the screen to a lower resolution is not an issue. Only stuffs like mixer and transport control will be placed on this monitor.. so i hoped.

I set mine to 1280 x 720. At this setting, the transport buttons are just nice - fitting for the finger tip. The mixer fader is about 2 inches in length, and all the other buttons (mute, solo, etc..) are easily engaged with a touch.

Holding the scroll bar works as expected, same as a mouse drag, and it's fast to see all the tracks.

Holding the fader.. well it won't work as expected. Moving the finger tip will cause the fader to move 'double' fast. 1 cm of finger movement caused the fader to move 2 cm.. like it's accelerated. And I did not 'flip' my finger.. I just move it real slow - imitating the mouse dragging the fader movement.

In comparison, I opened up Windows volume control. I was able to drag the Win volume up/down in stable and expected movement.

So.. my excitement stop short after the fader test.

Attached is the pic of the monitor set to 1280 x 720 resolution. Well..that's all for now. Let me know if there is any feature you liked me to try out.. 

if you have an ipad then you can use something like this - http://homemusicproductio...trol-surface-for-ipad/ there are similar things for android...just a thought if you wanted touch-screen control...

Update on Touch Screen

28 May 2011 - Submitted a feature request on Touch screen / Step sequencer editing - feature to disable a note. While touching a note behave similar to clicking a note, touch-hold (which is suppose to perform a right-click) does not disable a note. 

27 May 2011 - Cakewalk responded to the touch screen controlling the mixer fader issue (fader does not response correctly to touch), and upgraded my report into a feature request and offers a work around (holding shift key while moving the faders). Test result : In mouse / fader operation, shift key enable fine fader adjustment. In touch / fader operation, shift key will slow down the fader acceleration.

? May 2011 - Submitted a feature to enable mixer fader to be enlarged for better touch screen control. I found out a work around later, which is to lower the screen resolution, effectively enlarging all display objects. However, this is only practical in multi monitor setup.

I had also pondered the notion of using touch screen monitors, but I thought to myself that the screen res would be too high....I wouldnt even feel comfortable unless the screen was at least 40 inches wide......sounds like the future though...definitely forward thinking.....Thanks for detailing your experience....
